Inertial sensors are a class of specialized sensors, which operate on the principle of inertia, where a small displacement caused by peripheral vibrations and oscillations result in generation of electronic output signal by the sensor material. The Inertial Sensing products market has evolved with advent of semiconductor electronics industry with manufacturers providing state-of-the-art as well as efficient devices in the field of sensor devices.

The sensors are integrated into an electronic component with appropriate calibration done on sensor material to produce desired output signal. Inertial sensing products mainly find their applications where displacement, positioning and motion tracking of objects and equipment are required. The sensing range ranges from a few square millimetre upto 500 millimetre in diameter. The portability, degree of accuracy associated with inertial sensing products make it a preferred choice by the end users for measuring and navigation applications.

Inertial sensors are used to detect and measure acceleration, vibration, tilt, shock and multiple Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) motion. The devices equipped with inertial sensing products such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc. are offered separately or as integrated inertia measurement units.

The Inertial Sensing products market is generally driven by varied end use industries such as defense, aerospace, automotive, mining as well as exploration. where the common objective of navigation, motion tracking and measurement is fulfilled. The market growth is expected to continue on a positive note with increasing scope of application and its related consumption in the aforementioned mentioned end use industries in the form of research & development process and as an end equipment / device. However, slowdown in end use industries such as automotive vehicles and mining can act as a restraint to the inertial sensing products market.

The inertial sensing products market in terms of manufacturing has been dominated by leading semiconductor components companies owing to technological advancements in design of portable sensing devices. The inertial sensing products are either sold directly to the end-industry OEMs or supplied in the market via distributors and suppliers. The inertial sensing product has been placed as a high –end use device and is therefore priced at a premium level.
